Lots of sheep and slave talk goes on in the Steem world. And it seems there are a lot of angry individuals who worry about things that have little impact on their day to day lives. Maybe I'm in the minority here and is the one who needs to be enlightened, who knows?
Below are the top 10 reasons why is a sheep and/or slave:
1- I don't mind paying taxes to the US government. I have managed to work hard and retire before my 40th birthday regardless of the fact that I paid taxes. Stealing all that money didn't work in my case. Maybe I should have focused all my attention on why taxes are bad instead of working hard, wonder how that would have turned out?
CONCLUSION: SLAVE
2- My kids are going to be indoctrinated in the public education system and I don't give a shit about the "programming" they are going to receive. Well, for one, I went to public schools and private college and I think I turned out "ok". Not to mention I tell my kids I love them about 100 times a day and they are encouraged to read and learn as much as possible on their own, along with making their own decisions/opinions about subjects.
CONCLUSION: SHEEP
3- I could give a shit less about what the US government spends on the military, whom they choose to bomb, war atrocities, or what happens in places around the world. I care about the safety of my wife, children, and immediate family only. Unfortunately, I don't focus on things I have absolutely no control over.
CONCLUSION: SHEEP
4- I believe NASA is real organization, the earth is round, and the USA put a man on the moon. And if none of these are "true" what difference would it make in my life anyhow.
CONCLUSION: DEFINITE SHEEP
5- I have empathy towards the wealthiest people of the world and don't mind there is a Bilderburg meeting every year where the world power leaders get together to discuss their agenda. Who are billionaires supposed to hang out with? Why would anyone question them hanging out with other billionaires? Seems pretty logical to me.
CONCLUSION: SHEEP MAYBE SLAVE
6- I don't worry about anyone listening to my conversations or monitoring activity. This ship sailed long ago when technology advanced into a "SMART" age. Out of my control anyhow unless I decide to stop using the internet, email, mobile devices. Until then. . .
CONCLUSION: SLAVE
7- I don't stand up to the government in a public display of my opinions, attend anti-government rallies, poke the government regarding their laws, or do anything of the sort. I just don't give a fuck enough to try. . 8 years, going on 9 years, of meditation practice has shifted my perception. Who knows?
CONCLUSION: SHEEP or SLAVE
8- I don't agree with Anarchists, Libertarians, or Voluntarism. I find their work amusing, laughable, and lacking a direct plan for utopia. . .But mainly I just don't like to associate with people who are afraid of "the man". Seems pretty pointless to spend so much time worrying. My thought process goes a little deeper than concepts about society. My heaven is Now, and I don't need anything in the world to change.
CONCLUSION: DEFINITE SHEEP
9- I don't think there is one big conspiracy to control the masses. And if there is, I must have slipped through the cracks, because my life is fuckin' enjoyable and I'm generally a happy person.
CONCLUSION: SHEEP AND SLAVE
10- A saying that makes sense to me, "What you resists, persists". Hence, why I don't vote, I'm not political, and do my best to not consume any mainstream media.
CONCLUSION: A WEAK SLAVE
Thanks for reading Steemians.
